A red kite was swooping over the chicken run today. I think all our chickens are too big for him so perhaps he was looking field mice. He is such a beautiful bird. A few years ago one was living near the road between The Bwlch Tre Banau Estate http://www.walesholidaycottages.com/ and the small village of Siloh and often when I drove down through the canopy of trees he would fly into the road in front of the Rangerover and fly in front of my vehicle for about 50 yards before veering off. This went on for quite a few months, then one day he was gone and I have not seen him since. It was an incredible experience.
